Adjustable Stroke MULTI-POWER^® Slide Cylinder specifications: 4" bore x 5" stroke Hydraulic Shock and Speed Control Magnetic Piston	Fabco-Air adapted a MULTI-POWER^® air cylinder and a linear slide for high force and precision guiding in an automotive application. Capable of supplying 4,720 lbs. of force at 100 PSI, Fabco-Air designed a custom mounting/bearing block with eight pre-loaded, sealed linear ball bearings supporting four hardened, precision guide shafts and a steel tool mounting plate.

	Huge hole through double rod air cylinder Cylinder specifications: 10" bore x 3-1/2" stroke 7" Diameter hole through 8" Diameter rod Fabco-Air customized a Hi-Power™ cylinder to fit into small parts assembly machinery. The large hole allows mechanical drives and pressure/vacuum lines to pass through to the point of use.
	Pancake^® II Cylinder has been customized to fit small space Fabco-Air adapted a standard cylinder by milling flats on both end caps for precision alignment in medical packaging machinery. 4" bore x 1" stroke, the double acting cylinder has a high strength composite wall, hard chrome plated stainless steel piston rod, PTFE composite rod bearings and internally lubricated dynamic O-Rings.
	Automotive under-hood application for drive train control Cylinder specifications: 3-1/2" bore x 1" stroke spring retracted, stainless steel piston rod, hard anodized aluminum body. The body has eight 0.13" breather holes in front of the piston and a special rod end. Mounting elements and the extend port are machined into the back end cap by the customer.
	Under carriage mobile equipment is corrosion resistant Cylinder specifications: 2-1/2" bore x 2" stroke Fabco-Air modified a standard cylinder by adding a stainless steel mounting pivot and machining ports in the front and rear end caps. Additionally the stainless steel rod is hard chrome plated while the housing and end caps are electroless nickel plated.
	Special cylinder design meets length restrictions A modified 5" bore Hi-Power cylinder, designed with a special tool plate, uses long composite bushings for continuous guide shaft engagement. The bushings are supported at both ends in the heads. Length restrictions precluded use of overhanging guide shafts or double rod construction.
	Special cartridge cylinder solves design problems in food processing machinery Fabco-Air developed this 3" bore, 1/8" stroke, double acting, double rod, air cylinder to mate into a machined cavity in the heart of food processing equipment. External O-Rings on the body seal air passages to the extend and retract ports (shown at 2:00 o'clock in the photo). Designed for operation at 150 psi, the cylinder has a 2-1/4" stainless steel rod with a 2" hole through, PTFE impregnated hard-coated aluminum body components, and Viton seals for corrosion resistance and high wash-down tolerance.
	Dual bore air cylinder Cylinder specifications: 50mm bore x 2" stroke double acting with stainless steel piston rods and hard anodized aluminum body Fabco-Air solved one design problem by providing integral nests machined into the cylinder body to enable precise alignment of the customer's tooling.

	Pancake^® Cylinder for High Temperature Applications This cylinder has ports located on it's face and rear cap. It was designed to fit a customers envelope requirements in a mold knock-out application.
	High Speed Hole Punch for Packaging Application This Fabco special has a spring return and hardened shaft to longer life.
	Double Acting Mold Lock Cylinder for Plastic Molding Application This cylinder actually pulls the stick-down to the cooling platform with positive pressure rather than with a spring to give uniform cooling on overmold.
	Adjustable Stroke Parallel Gripper for Packaging Application This unique gripper allows jaw size to be adjusted on a per-job basis, eliminating the need for special jaw attachments.
	8" Bore Cylinder with Rod Lock The robust rod lock on this cylinder provides a failsafe for vertical loads, preventing injury in case of loss of pressure.
	Vacuum Generator with 4 Way Valve This valve pulls 28" of water column and holds the vacuum for 24 hours.
	Continuous Acting Booster For Dental Application Similar to competition, but has external switching to prevent cross-over from inlet to exhaust when unit stalls.
	Round Hole-Through Cylinder for Synchronized Pick-up Customer was trying to lift a product with 3 individual cylinders with unacceptable results. This "ring" cylinder incorporates three piston shafts into one piston for a smooth, non-binding actuation.
	Double Rotary Actuator Manufactured using Titanium, 316 Stainless Steel, and a Special Coating This application required a dual rotary motion, as well as special materials for wash down and media compatibility.
	Modified Pancake Cylinder for Manifold Mount In this application the customer needed a valve in-head for a quicker response and cleaner package. This design utilizes one hose and fitting instead of three.
	Hole-Through Double Rod with Precision Bearing Pockets and Adjustable Stroke This special cylinder has a high speed spindle running through the center of the piston in an avionics drilling application.
	Four Stage Multi-Power^® with Built In Quick Exhaust Dump Valve Unique dovetail mount enables the customer to change centers on a resistance welding application.
